"We have received $114,760.33 in COVID Relief Funding (CRF).  We spent it on additional nursing time, additional chromebooks to be able to serve all K-12 students during times of distance/hybrid learning, additional cleaning and protective supplies, additional cleaning staff, and to keep a building sub for staffing purposes.

Since March of 2020, all students have received free lunch via the National Summer Food Service Program.  I'm fairly confident this applied to all districts, certainly the vast majority.  The program is currently approved through the end of this school year.

We received about $2,200 from the county, and we used that to create mobile workstations in the industrial arts room." John Engstrom, Carlton School
